Mine is probably "The Moon is a Harsh Mistress", followed closely by "Starship Troopers" and anything with Lazarus Long.

Loved the book, even if it is a bit overrated. But I need someone's opinion on the movie. Was it worth seeing?

I mean, I really get tired of all the Harry-hype sometimes. Seriously, how stupid can one series of books get???

I'm writing a story, and I'm stuck on a scene in which a couple of paramedics are attempting to save someone. As it stands, it's not very believable because I'm not all that familiar with medical terminology. So, I'm looking for the assistance of any nurses, medics, etc..

The scene is this: A man is bleeding to death as a result of slicing both of his arms from elbow to wrist. He's lost consciousness and his pulse is fading fast. Two medics arrive and do their thing. What would the paramedics do in this situation? What would the conversation be like?

Anyone with more knowledge about this stuff than me, feel free to toss in your two cents. Any tips are appreciated.

In the meantime, I'm off to see what I can dig up on the internet.

I have been trying to get my poem published and I just can't seem to find anywhere to do so. Everywhere I look seems to lead to a dead end.

I'm a big fan of Anne Tyler and am reading her new novel, "Digging to America." I looked up references to Mount Washington and Roland Park and discovered that they're actual neighborhoods in Baltimore. Do her other novels, like Dinner at the Homesick Restaurant, Saint Maybe, Breathing Lessons, Accidental Tourist, and The Amateur Marriage, include recognizable Baltimore locations? What are they?

Also, does Anne Tyler ever, ever, ever give public appearances in Baltimore? (I know she never does book tours and almost never does interviews.) Thanks!

We are reading a book where the authoress, instead of using the normal HE just to indicate mankind, writes SHE every time. Its very jarring. Is it also feminist nonesense?

I have read the half blood prince a good 10 times but I still dont get something. It says "One cannot live while the other does" its talking about Harry and Voldemort, doesnt that suggest that both will definatly have to die? They need both of eachother to survive so they should need both to die?
